solipsistik is an unknown quantity at this point
Yep, I had traction problems for that run. If you had been in the car when it did it, you wouldn't believe it was a 10 second run, it spun 2nd and fell on its face for a moment. I would be very unsurprised if it was a 10.2s run or a 10.3s run with more a clean 60'. But like I said to 991.2 - it either runs the time or it doesn't. The trap speed, on the other hand - I am dead happy with.

I was the first car on the track, because I knew the Civics etc. would drive through the water box, drag the water out on to the launch space and that would be the end of a good track surface. My very next run was a 10.8@134, then a 10.8#@133.xx after which I couldn't break 11.1@132-134 the rest of the night. The car was spinning hard enough a couple of times that I had to get right out of the throttle because it hopped and ... I know it's a tough car but breaking trans shafts isn't my idea of a fun Friday night.

My heart says 997 turbo with be more fun but figure I can buy the base 991.2 carrera and do a turbo upgrade for widowmaker status. Thoughts?
the latest tech always is better than the raw power or else just buy a z06. just my .02 peace and happy motoring.
